Membership and Stakeholders

Stakeholders

​

FFO realizes that there are multiple stakeholders who are instrumental to the success of this great sport in the United States.

 

• USA Fencing Association is undoubtedly the most important organization that has been servicing and promoting the fencing sport in the U.S., and largely leading to United States’ international success of the sport.

• Clubs and Coaches not only train our fencers with skills and sportsmanship, but also inspire fencers for a lifelong passion, as well as providing local and regional competitions.

• Referees are critically important to all competitions by determining the outcome of competitions, educating fencers of fencing rules, and, like coaches, instilling sportsmanship among all fencers.

• Fencers are invariably the key pieces of the puzzle. All other stakeholders are contributing to the success of the fencers in the sport through coaching, services, financial support and educations.

• Last, but not the least, fencers’ parents are mostly the primary financial backbone of this sport that provides the much needed financial support directly or indirectly to all other stakeholders. Even for some adult fencers who are financially independent, their parents may have shouldered the financial responsibilities for them before they became financially self-sufficient.
